counting steps on train tracks, thinking
"if i just keep going it'll have some meaning"
my hometown is cold now
they tore the bar down
where a pint glass helped my first tattoo's swelling
not much changes there or in my journal pages
it's all the same, i mix up the faces
if time erases me
let it be known
i slept better in your arms than I ever did at home
i guess you're not here to stay
and that's okay
i'll lay right here
you can have your way
with my bones
anyone who says they know me
sees a piece of what i'll never know
between the loves who leave and those i let go
what can be left of an identity
i searched the walls of every condo bedroom
i used to share with people i once knew
for signs they wrote on walls to help me find them
but jokes on me
i don't deserve to follow
so here i am
snow storm blinded me
slide out on the highway going ninety
to the sound of a grindcore album
skipping and turned up the whole way
lost sight of the exit
spun
flipped
counted headlights headed my way
and i still feel more lost now
than i did on that day
i guess you're not here to stay
and that's okay
i'll lay right here
you can have your way
with my bones
